    Simple question: is this toyota coolant? See picture.

    Reason for question: I just removed it from my 2002 Toyota Tacoma Prerunner and it seams like it is the proper red stuff; if it ain't then I might want to do a full "washing out" of the system. If it is, then simple refill. Fair Logic/reasoning?20241130_095219.jpg

    Thank you for your patience with my naiveté.

    Looks like it. Any of the asian coolants will work. Peak, Zerex, Toyota SLLC, ect. Drain and fill should be fine.
